[compiz] multiscreen

[Brian J. Murrell]

I'm wondering what the status of multiscreen support is supposed to be
in 0.9.7.12.  Using Ubuntu Precise, it seems that compiz only manages 1
screen and if you want compiz on both screens of a dual screen set up
you need to start two compiz sessions as such:

$ DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz --replace
$ DISPLAY=:0.1 compiz --replace

What makes this all so strange is that even when one starts only the
first one and leaves the second screen unmanaged my compiz, the compiz
configuration settings manager still shows a pulldown for both screens
in the upper left.

What's more, if one does start two compiz managers, the settings changes
made only affects the one screen despite what the screen pulldown in the
upper left says and one has to stop the settings manager on screen 0 and
start it on screen 1 to make any changes there.

In any case, what I am wondering is if this is the state of compiz in
general or if all of this is nasty Ubuntu hacks.

Cheers,
b.
